A little turn for mischief you might trace Also thereon,—but that's not much: Perhaps she merely had the simple project To laugh him out of his suppos'd dismay: Perhaps she might wish to confirm him in it, Though why, I cannot say—at least this minute. But so far the immediate effect Was to restore him to his self-propriety, A thing quite necessary to the elect, Who wish to take the tone of their society In which you cannot be too circumspect, Whether the mode be persiflage or piety, But wear the newest mantle of hypocrisy, On pain of much displeasing the gynocracy.
And therefore Juan now began to rally His spirits, and, without more explanation, To jest upon such themes in many a sally. Of these, few could say more than has been said: They pass'd, as such things do, for superstition, With some, while others, who had more in dread The theme, half credited the strange tradition; And much was talk'd on all sides on that head: And then, the mid-day having worn to one, The company prepar'd to separate; Some to their several pastimes, or to none, Some wondering 't was so early, some so late.

There was a goodly match, too, to be run, Between some greyhounds on my lord's estate, And a young race-horse, of old pedigree, Match'd for the spring, whom several went to see. There was a picture-dealer who had brought A special Titian, warranted original, So precious that it was not to be bought, ough princes the possessor were besieging all. The king himself had cheapen'd it, but thought The civil list he deigns to accept obliging all His subjects by his gracious acceptation - Too scanty, in these times of low taxation.

There is no introduction and no notes. I would have liked notes to help me better understand the text. However the price was quite good. However I am now feeling like I want to buy the York notes to better understand the book and I could have avoided that if it just had notes! One person found this helpful. The introducing page-and-a-half verse dedication to Robert Southey - a not uninteresting part of the book, that's some quality mockery - is here reproduced with some faults. Three stanzas 1, 6 and 7 are cut in half, with the lower arcs of the y's and g's of the cut out parts still hanging out on the page I'm going ahead and assuming this isn't intentional.
The other students in my course who'd bought the same edition also had the problem, so it isn't just an issue of my copy.

I can't identify this printing error anywhere in the main parts of the poem, and it did seem coherent, so for now I'll just hope I didn't miss out on anything else. The larger pages are a real benefit to reading comfort, but the leaving out bits is really sort of worrying. You need plenty time. Don Juan is a perfect offset both to the cant of Byron's and also our own era. Yes this did exactly what it said on the tin. I only bought it because of my course work but it's a good version. The poem attempts to encompass everything, as Byron tells us -- but everything literary, not everything in real life.
War, stormy seas, tropical islands, British high-class society, queens and slaves -- all are presented as fictions, parodies, examples, not true portraits. Even the philosophy is purely literary in intent, none of it applicable to people on earth, but only to people in the world of early-nineteenth-century literature. Don Juan is one of those works that live forever.
